About Wankhede Stadium

The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is one of India’s most celebrated cricket grounds, opened in 1974 on the shores of the Arabian Sea. It is best remembered as the venue where India won the 2011 ODI World Cup final on home soil.

A traditionally batting-friendly surface with help for fast bowlers under lights, the Wankhede is the home of the Mumbai Cricket Association and the Mumbai Indians, and a fortress for both Indian and franchise cricket.

Its compact, steep stands generate a famous wall of noise, and the sea breeze that sweeps in during the evening session adds a distinctive character to matches played here.
